They(the organization) OBVIOUSLY are very high on Kolb. He was their first pick in the 2007 draft, so it was only a matter of time before he either saw the field or wsa traded. The brass knew that this day was coming since the DAY they drafted KK- and they capitalized (hopefully) on trading 5 as opposed to letting him walk for nothing next year.

There's no bigger fan of Mcnabb out there than me. But if the price you get in return is right, and you feel you have a plan B that can step in there and do just as good a job- you strike while the iron is hot.

Kolb might not be able to evade defenders and shrug off first contact like McNabb, but he sure as hell throws a more catchable ball. and I don't even want to pull out that meaningless first two games to start a career stat out.

Sounds like......"" In big red we trust "" ?

Correctly pegged. His gameday decisions are laughably bad, but the man knows how to put a contentious team on the field EVERY FKN YEAR. Not to mention a young one. It's only a matter of time until he buttf.ucks the threshold and takes this team to the promised land, Cowher-esque style. Then the Booth Operator can finally take the plum sized anal beads out of his caverneous passage and sit in a bucket of icy-hot while he types how fat Andy is and how lucky he got.


and Slotdirt is right as well. McNabb is the best player to ever put an Eagles jersey on his back. He worked with absolutely no running game for most of his career. I'd love to have seen what other quarterbacks would've done with his pop warner receivers, for again, the majority of his career. He's certainly revered by me, and I will root for him and the Skins in every game not versus or at PHI.


and Uncly....SHawn Andrews?!?!??!? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Mcnabb is a better football player than Bednarik or Reggie White? In what way? The other two are 1st ballot, probably unanimous hall of fame selections. I already extolled the virtues of Bednarik because he played before most of us were watching. But anyone who thinks Donavan mcNabb is a better football player than Reggie White is delusional.

Ive always liked Mcnabb. In reading all of the posts, its obvious that there is a difference in what is meant by "best eagle".

Best career? Mcnabb in a walk. Look at the success individually and the team success over the last decade.

Best Football player? White changed the game and is one of the best d lineman ever. Mcnabb will never be mentioned as one of the best Qb's ever.

Are you really saying that Reggie White's 8 years in Philadelphia were less successful individually than Donovan McNabbs? By what measure?

The statements made were that McNabb was the best player to ever wear an Eagles uniform. Reggie White was arguably the best player to ever wear a football uniform period and inarguably is in the top 5. Please tell me how Whites 8 year Eagle career was worse than McNabbs.

Cannon, remind me of all the great playoff successes Reggie White's teams had in his Eagles glory years?

they had a below average offense. cant win if you cant score points.

Its not like we made it to the promise land with the other guy we are talking about either.

Though Van Brocklin and Bednarik won a championship or two

Could you please explain to me how that has any relevance to Reggie White versus Donovan Mcnabb's "careers"?

Did RW have any control over the teams coaching decisions? Or offense? or Special teams? Or strength of other teams in the conference/division? Why does DM get credit for playing during an era where Dallas went 14 seasons without a playoff win? Or For Jim Johnsons defenses? Or the advantage of not being coached by Buddy Ryan?

For 8 years RW was the best player at his position in the NFL, let alone the Eagles. In 10 years McNabb has never been the best player at his position.
Reggie White missed 1 game in 8 years and never had anything but a great year. McNabb has missed quite a few games and has had a whole lot of bad games. Reggie Whites career with the Eagles was a huge success from day one till the day he left for GB. Can you say the same about McNabb?

Did one time during White's 8 years did you ever say "Boy we could do better if we replaced White with......"? That seemingly happened every week with McNabb.

Inarguably top 5 EVER?

Hmmmm...

Joe Montana
Bart Starr
Johnny Unitas
Dan Marino
Walter Payton
Dick Butkus
Lawrence Taylor
Peyton Manning
Ray Nitschke
Sammy Baugh
Joe Greene
Deacon Jones
Deion Sanders
Jerry Rice
Kellen Winslow

Sure he is in that mix. But you COULD argue whether or not he is in the top five.

I know what you mean though.

[slotdirt]

I'm not splitting hairs - Lawrence Taylor was a better defensive player than Reggie White.
